You can also order from their Bandcamp … Continue reading Stream Great American Canyon Band’s Only You Remain

Live Review: Protomartyr (100 Club, London)

After Protomartyr featured heavily in our end of the year Best of lists, it was a no brainer to make the trip down with Chris T Popper to the 100 Club to catch the London date of their short UK tour. First up though was The Rebel, aka Ben Wallers erstwhile frontman, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter for the band Country Teasers. It was our first experience of his … Continue reading Live Review: Protomartyr (100 Club, London)

Video Round Up

Time to start the week with a few choice musical films… ten to be exact. So come with us a follow a path from the brilliantly louche, disaffected punk of Dilly Dally to the off-kilter urgency of Velcro Hooks by way of the mediative melancholy of Daniel Martin Moore, the energetic alt-country blues of Alex Culbreth, and the tripped out psychedelics of the Lucid Dream and plenty … Continue reading Video Round Up

Another From The Coathangers

Squeeki Tiki is the latest single taken from The Coathangers upcoming album Nosebleed Weekend, which is out on the 15th April. It is another perfect example of their infectious, fizzing, garage-inspired punk. A song that buzzes and careers all over the place like a kid waving a piece of barbed wire in a kindergarten! Enjoy.   Continue reading Another From The Coathangers

Carter Tanton – Jettison The Valley

Carter Tanton assembled Freeclouds, his first collection of songs in 2012, which we thoroughly enjoyed and posted about on a few occasions.  A couple of years later, Tanton moved to England where he wrote all of the songs on his new album Jettison the Valley. This change of environment, and his rediscovery of early British influences including Richard Thompson, Nick Drake and John Cale sparked a powerful … Continue reading Carter Tanton – Jettison The Valley

MM Shorts 834: Cannibal Animal

Psychedelic doom-punks Cannibal Animal recently released their latest single, I Feel Alive, via Warren Records. The track itself deals with some pretty intense topics. The beauty when it comes to Cannibal Animal, is that they’re not afraid to break down walls with their twitchy, highly-addictive aggro-punk, and encourage the listener to go all Frozen and just…err, let it go. Stream it below.   Continue reading MM Shorts 834: Cannibal Animal

More From Eureka California

Versus is Athens GA duo Eureka California’s third album in three years – a white-knuckle ride through a tattered psyche and a brain that just won’t shut up. Too smart for self-pity and too drunk to think clearly, it is endlessly self-referential and endlessly self-destructive, stuck on a non-stop treadmill of tension and release, of megalomania and doubt. Versus is agoraphobic fight songs, songs about loving television more than … Continue reading More From Eureka California
